What can you expect from your life at Shippr ?

Within one month

The first month is dedicated to an intensive training period to immerse yourself in our daily life, understand our functioning and processes in order to be able to ride autonomously as soon as possible. You will follow our COO and the whole team for shadowing and role-playing sessions. You will also discover our different products and get familiar with them.

Within 3 months

Once you are comfortable with our operation and our platforms, you will be able to manage daily situations by yourself, which you will do for 3 months in order to visualize our problems and to immerse yourself in our processes. This period will be essentially based on a "field learning".

Within 6 months

After 6 months, you will have all the necessary skills to independently manage the operational team and take your place as "supervisor". Your role will be to ensure the smooth running of our daily operations, the implementation of new missions and the constant improvement of our quality. You will work closely with our COO for strategic implementations and follow-up of our KPIs, but you will manage the operator teams independently.‍

Beyond‍

With the team growing fast, you’ll have multiple opportunities to

• Help recruit, mentor and potentially manage other people
• Increase your responsibilities in your own area of expertise with our continuous learning path
• Upgrade our processes, discover new tools and stay up to date with the job’s best practices to make sure everything continues to run smoothly

• Grow from 5 cofounders to 32 colleagues (it will drastically go up when we finish our current fund-raising tour) and 1000+ partners.
• Evolve from an Excel sheet to a fully fledged customer and operational dashboard and an app for our partners on the road. We built it feedback after feedback to best fit the market need without bloating it.
